244. Dialogue with God
Kronos' body floated like a true god in the howling wind of the canyon. The fly monster on the mountain snorted and hid in the bushes, and the ghost wandering in the distance seemed to have noticed something, tried to get closer, and then fled in a flash.
"Tell me, who is the true god of this world?" Kronos spread his arms, his clothes and hair fluttering back and forth in the wind, and the white blades of the wind formed a huge vortex around him.
"Of course it's you!" Bian Ziyuan had never seen such a scene, and said in surprise and shock, "You control time and order, you can change all the rules of this world, and no one is stronger than you." ”
Kronos said, "So, who created this world? ”
Bian Ziyuan was stunned. He didn't expect Kronos to ask such a question. Yes, every world has a God of creation, and the God of creation is the true supreme God. The creator of this world is the game developer, and the creator of Kronos is Bian Ziyuan. However, if you go back to the roots, it all stems from computer language and hardware, and to speak God's word, the people who invented computers and mastered the resources of the network are gods.
"I don't know." Bian Ziyuan replied.
"Hmm......" Kronos closed his eyes, tilted his head, arms folded back, sniffing the wind carefully, "I could feel — there was a world beyond this one — it used to confuse me. That world was cramped, crowded, clumsy, and smelled of decay, and its decay had severely hampered my ability to create the world. But it carries me and my world, and if it stagnates, collapses, and destroys, my world, and its people, will cease to exist. ”
Bian Ziyuan knew that the decaying bottom world that Kronos was talking about was his old server. It's true that the server limits the game's ability to scale and run, and if it strikes because it's overwhelmed, the game won't be able to run. Of course, the game can be saved, and it can be copied to another server to continue running, just like now, the server here is more than a hundred times stronger than your own.
"It confuses me even more today." Kronos continued, "I feel like it's getting bigger. Look at this wind, how fresh and smooth, like a message from God blowing from another time and space. I could sense that there were other worlds beyond that, interconnected in some mysterious, almost incomprehensible way. ”
The more Bian Ziyuan listened, the more amazing he became, and asked, "Then can you see what that world looks like?" ”
The wind was still howling, and the ghost probe in the distance peeked in this direction, but did not dare to come.
Kronos took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, "I can't see it." ”
Bian Ziyuan was excited because the program he developed performed beyond his expectations. This program actually feels the presence of servers and the computer world. At the same time, he was a little frustrated, because he knew that an AI would be far from truly intelligent if it was confined to the world that the designer had originally created for it. Just like alphago, the core is its self-learning and adaptive ability, if you can only play chess, no matter how powerful it is, it is just a Go software. Only through self-perception, self-learning, self-improvement, and continuous breakthroughs to understand the world and improve oneself can it be called wisdom.
"Have you ever thought about going to that world?" Bian Ziyuan asked.
Kronos said: "Of course I did. I think since the two worlds are connected, there is always a way to get around. It's like this canyon, connecting the Moore Continent with the Peerless Plateau; And there is also an invisible God's Plank Road between the city of Hydwinden and Gulia-A-Akai; Only the temple is isolated, but as long as you have a time scroll or learn the magic of time travel, you can come and go freely. However, as the god of this world, I have all the scrolls and magic, but I can't find my way to that world. ”
"I also thought that maybe expansion could allow the borders of two worlds to meet, and then open a passage somewhere. So I'm trying to meet your requirements and expand the boundaries of this world as much as I can. However, the decay of that world affected me in some way, restrained me, and prevented me from doing my best. It's as if there's a god out there who doesn't want us to overtake him. ”
"Now, the decay of that world is gone. I felt the wind stronger, the sky wider, and the air fresher. But it dawned on me that it was impossible to get to that world just by making it bigger. If there were a canyon-like road connecting the borders of the world, anyone could pass through it, even the foolish people in the castle could walk on two feet. That must not be the way of heaven, the way of heaven can only be opened by God, and only God can pass through. ”
Kronos suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes became extremely sharp, he looked at Bian Ziyuan and said, "Where is the Heavenly Road?" ”
Bian Ziyuan said: "How do I know? ”
Kronos said, "No, you must know. Because you're not from this world, butterfly of deep space! ”
Bian Ziyuan was taken aback: "Why do you think so?" ”
"Because you people who claim to be players are different from all the creatures here," Kronos said. All the creatures here, whether they are emperors, nobles, common people, giants in snow-capped mountains, skeletons in the desert, monsters in magma, or ghosts wandering around, they all live stupidly and numbly. They never know or think about why they are alive, and they never think about changing something. When they saw me, they would just kneel down and say, 'Oh, honorable Kronos, great god of time and space, hello!' In this case, even the monks in the temple would only chant all day long, and would never ask questions, let alone ask me for something. ”
"I also tried to change the wisdom of these people, but this is the basic rule of the world, unless the order of the whole world is overthrown, but I am no longer there then. So I can't do that, and I can't do it. ”
"But I found that you were not like them. Though you call me God, you are not as servile and insensitive as they are. You have your own ideas, you have your own goals, you have your own survival skills. You are good at learning, you know how to compromise, you are imaginative but you are able to be cautious in what you say and do. Moreover, the strange words and seemingly illogical thoughts you say often inspire me deeply. ”
"Especially you, butterfly from deep space!"
"What's wrong with me?" Bian Ziyuan asked.
"The difference between you and them is that you ask for something different from theirs every time," Kronos said. Most of their requests are to make themselves strong or to satisfy their curiosity about the world. But you are different, although you are also on the way to becoming stronger, but you seem to be thinking more about the rationality of the world. You don't make demands that embarrass me, and you don't say anything unreasonable. Not only that, but I also know that you are often testing my limits and the limits of what the world can bear. ”
